Anyone using Paul's Maestro Music management system?

What version are you on?

Locked out again - there seems to be a glitch with the processing for taking payments, e-mailed Paul and hoping its a simple fix

Hi everyone, any clue about launch of maestro’s iOS app?

Sorted back in Maestro - Phew

Working on it now and will submit it for approval this week. Then it’s up to the Apple gods.

When playing DSD files, sometimes the music will jump to the next song before the current one is finished. This has happened a couple of times. A few albums do not have covers showing. The scrolling of files is a little slower than Qobuz on V147.

Maestro seems to have screwed up the order of the tracks on several of my local DSD albums. I cross checked the albums with Roon which shows the correct track sequence. Anyone else notice this?

Right now (v156 on Windows) what happens is this:

  1. I open Maestro and pick an album, either streaming or a local file, and press play.
  2. Maestro then says it will play in shared mode because bitperfect is not accepted by the dac.
  3. However, when I then go to devices and click on the button for the Cambridge usb driver, Maestro effectively starts playing in bitperfect and sound quality improves.
  4. So far so good, but after that track is completed, Maestro stops playing.
  5. Manually going back to the shared mode of system audio, I can listen to the following track but of course with reduced sound quality. I have to go back to 3) in order to get bitperfect again.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any clues? A zipped log is on its way to Paul.

Auto-update to v158 this morning. After adding some new albums to my NAS directory I asked Maestro to rescan. Local FLAC files no longer have track timing information. Local DSD files have the track timing info - although the track order is still incorrect.

On 158, finally “finished” loading local library from the network share. Yea.

It seems to have loaded MP3 versions only of some albums of which there are both MP3 versions and 24/96 Flac versions. How to remedy?

Also - how do I remove a network share?

Thanks!

Installed VeraVox this morning, it sounds damned good streaming local FLAC and DSD. I haven’t played with the program yet, it requires Mac OS but it also generates a web interface that can be reached from any browser. Very impressed so far.

Using latest v167 on Intel iMac. I thought the local albums on v166 were displaying faster, but on v167 they have slowed again. This seems to be the most significant ongoing problem on my Mac. Has anyone else had the same issue on an Intel Mac, and have you been able to speed the local album scan and display in some way, or is it strictly an issue with Maestro itself? Thanks!

On V167, the local files at first were moving slow. But after a few minutes the scrolling became faster. May be it needs a little time to upload all my albums? Mine has a little over 4 TB in SSD.

I’m golfing this morning and going to sign up for Maestro when I get home. Happy 4th​:united_states::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::united_states:

login issue V135

could not login using my historical credential

so clicked to start an account, return window said my subscription ended even though I was good until late July the last couple weeks

to use Maestro today, I must pay

updating to V173 did not fix this; system turned on for warmup, darn

Can you email me back with what email address/name you are registered under so I can check?

What a great day to celebrate by playing golf. Go drive a 250 yds drive but don’t shoot a 250 score. :person_golfing:

here we go again, resubscribed, issue

while playing a Qobuz album and then selecting a new album to play, nothing from speakers even though sometimes play showing in bottom bar

if I click the ‘playing’ track, line on bottom of Maestro says it cannot play through AirLens

restart program, repeat

edit: issues aside, SQ is superb, delicate, strong, layered…the good stuff

Yikes! I am sorry. Sounds like some sort of mismatch. Let’s get it figured out. Would you have time to make this happen in Maestro, then go to the upper help menu, download the zip log file and email to me? I am here to help all weekend.
